WASHINGTON, (JTA) —
The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, at the
request of Sen. Clifford P.
Case (R. N.J.) has asked
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger to provide "a full
airing" of charges that
"important parts" of the
Soviet - American trade
agreement were not tran?
smitted to Congress "in
accordance with law." Case
told the Senate on Feb; 8 that
the parts "have indeed
entered into force: and
Congressional deliberation
on granting credits to the
USSR has been bypassed by
an Executive agreement
that extends credits at a
preferred rate to the USSR."
The House in Dec, adopted
by a 4-1 ratio the Mills -
Vanik measure forbidding
credits or most favored
nation tariffs to the Soviet
Union until it relaxes its
emigration barriers. The
identical measure, the
Jackson Amendment, is
backed by 78 Senators
l,
overall Trade Reform Act late this month or early March. No date has been fixed for Kissinger's ap¬ pearance before the Foreign Relations Committee regarding Case's charges relevant to the U.S. - Soviet agreement signed Oct. 18, 1972 as a follow-up to the summit meeting in Moscow in May of that year.
Case said in his speech that "neither the Congress nor the taxpayer has been
told the extent .of the obligation to extend sub¬ sidized credit to the USSR;*' An agreement, he said, between the U.S. Export- Import Bank and the Soviet Vnesthtorgbank provides in essence- for long-term -credits at six percent "on a ; case by case basis to. the USSR" and that the con-' ditions for the credits "will 'not be less favorable'than those usually extended to other purchasers in similar
transactions." The agreement, Case says, put a J500 million "ceiling" on the credits which, Case says, he is questioning. Thus far; Ex- Im Bank has lent the USSR $119 million of the $500 million committed to the Soviet Union. Pending final approval is $180 million more, mainly for the Oc¬ cidental Petroleum Com¬ pany's fertilizer complex for the USSR and $49 million {or gas exploration, Case said.
Israeli Forces Continue Pullout Egyptians Demolish SAM Sites
TEL AVIV, (JTA) - Israeli forces continued preparations on Feb. 7 to complete their pullout from the Israeli bridgehead on the west bank of the Suez Canal, an operation officers said would be finished by He'arlngs oif it are expected ~ -Feibr'^i' when the • last before the Senate Finance Israeli tinits will cross the Committee as part of the canal back to the Sinai
Israel Solidarity Mission Scheduled For April 22nd
Recognizing that one of the most visible means of in¬ dicating support, of Israel, for her people and to her economy, is to go to Israel, the Columbus Jewish Federation is co-sponsoring a special Federation Solidarity Mission with five other cities in Central Ohio.
Appealing to the Columbus Jewish Community, the Federation is asking that as many residents of the community as possible join in an indication of Solidarity with- Israel by making reservations for this special UJA sponsored Mission scheduled to leave on April 22nd for ten days. This will give the tourist an bp-^ portunity to spend In¬ dependence Day with the Israelis.
At a cost of $850 per per¬ son, double occupancy^($90 supplement for single room) this mission includes six nights to Tel Aviv and three nights in Jerusalem at five- star deluxe hotels.
The price quoted includes group air fare, hotel ac¬ commodations, all meals, daily program activities as
well as taxes, transfers and
gratuities. A special {roup fare from Columbus to New York and return will be worked out and announced later., Watch for further details.
Norman Meizlish, President of the Federation said "We urge Columbus residentsrto make that trip to Israel Now. Go with this special Columbus Solidarity Mission. Your presence can help fill the void and be a tangible sign of our solidarity with those in Israel who are enduring many hardships, both personal and economical. We have learned from those who have recently returned from similar trips, that this experience can be meaningful and enjoyable .for the participants as well as for the people there. Let us band together to assure the success of this com¬ munity as well as for the people there. Let lis band together to assure the success of this community sponsored visit.

WASHINGTON (WNS) — After two votes in which the Senate failed to get the necessary two-thirds to cut off a filibuster by the opposition, the Senate decided to postpone action until next year on ratifying the in¬ ternational treaty against genocide. In both votes 55 Senators supported the move for cloture while first 36 and then 38 Senators voted against it. This was the first time the Senate debated the issue since the treaty was adopted unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris in 1948 as a reaction to the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis. Opponents of the treaty expressed fear that it would cause the United States to lose jurisdiction over trials of its citizens to international tribunals. Sen. Jacob Javits (R., NY), one of the leaders in the fight for ratification, said the treaty's supporters will wage an educational campaign during the next months to combat the "great deal of misinformation about this treaty."
LONDON (WNS)'— In return for a moratorium on religious legislation during the present emergency, Dr. Immanuel Jacobovits, the Chief Rabbi of the British Common wealth, has urged the Israeli Chief Rabbinate to press for religious instruction and practices in all Israeli schools. Rabbi Jacobovits told ministers and leaders of the United Synagogue that he made his suggestion during a recent meeting in Jerusalem because the present agitation was "divjsive and counter-productive." He advocated a gradual disengagement of religious activities from partisan politics.
CHICAGO (WNS)—Philip M. Mutznick; a former president of B'nai B'rith, has called for a "more representative" structuring of the American Jewish community to deal with "changing needs, changing lifestyles and the increasing burdens of inflation."" Speaking to 400 persons' at convocation exercises commemorating the 50th anniversary of B'nai B'rith . Hillel Foundations, Klutznick warned that the com¬ bined pressures of inflation and "indispensable Jewish communal needs abroad that must be met" Can mean a weakening of Jewish institutions and programs in the U.S. if the American Jewish community continued to "trifle with the need for chave."
Peninsula. Sources here reported that the Egyptians were implementing their share of the agreement to the letter. A report from the west bank said that the Egyptians have demolished four of the five SAM misile sites they built on the canal's east bank since the Yom Kippur War. At noon on Feb. 21, an Israeli officer will , hand over the bridge at the Israeli salient to United , Nations, Emergency Force officers who, six hours later, will turn the bridge and the .salient over to the Egyp¬ tians. Until then, Israeli sources said, Israel will maintain significant forces of paratroops, armor and artillery in the bridgehead. Israeli sappers meanwhile continue to deactivate the minefields they planted with a target of de-fusing and
removing a half million mines out of the 750,000 mines that were placed. Maps on the location of the still active mines will be given to the Egyptians. Maps of booby-trap mines also have been prepared and handed to UNEF and the Egyptians, In . an incident Feb. 6 an Israeli soldier was killed whan a patrol clashed with a terrorist gang near Kibbutz Dan in' Upper Galilee. The terrorists had penetrated from Lebanese- territory. Meanwhile, Army Chief of Staff Gen. David Elazar, speaking at Bet Sokolow, the headquarters for jounalists here on Feb. 6 defended the disengagement agreement with Egypt, said there had been no violations so far and claimed that the new Israeli lines in Sinai
